STUDY: Internet Explorer Users Are Dumber


Recommended Posts

Looks like someone is mad that IE is on par with the other browser now!

Nope. Like I said, I'm at work forced to use this dumb browser. :whistle: Extremely slow.

Correction, Dummies who don't know any better think it's the only thing available. Microsoft fan boys choose to use it by choice.

People who are not MS fanboys do like the latest IE. My dad knows about Chrome and Firefox, but he prefers IE9. He's also no fanboy, he just likes IE.

IE9 has made a lot of nice improvemnts, especially for developers.

Sorry I love my speed in Chrome and I love my plugins in Firefox. I shall pass.

Aside from few thing there?s nothing major that differentiate IE with any other browser, it's just the IE has 1 major advertiser (Windows) just like Safari has OS. It?s just laziness that prevents people from using other browser not the capability or e-pe*is, average person will think why I need to spend time downloading and installing software which is already preinstalled on my computer.

Also some of you just like me are just little above average, that doesn?t make us geeks. We choose to install other browser because we have lot of time on our hand. I?ve yet see one page that didn?t work on IE that it worked on other browser; my main purpose of having other browser is compatibility test only for the sites that I work on.

I'm not saying you should use it, I'm saying there are people who just like IE9 because they find it better.

I myself use Chrome because I like the plugins I have for it, but I also like using IE9 for some of the features(like putting Neowin on my task bar).

LOL. next will be a survey compairing people buying red cars vs blue cars and who has the best credit rating between each...

People who buy red cars pay more insurance. LOL.

It's kinda funny when you have a thread started by a fanboy calling out other fanboys for using something they don't like. Another day on the internet.

No, I love Microsoft for a few things (Windows, Xbox, Zune, Office) but because I use Firefox that makes me a fanboy? You're stupid. Let me guess what browser your using? LOL

I just like how this site has turned out, they don't post articles like this. Just the other day "More people prefer to use Windows Phone 7 than Blackberry" but meanwhile iOS and Android are on top. People write articles to kinda sway towards Microsoft's way but it's a failed attempt.

Did you see the front page article on Android being number 1. One MS fanboy commented on how Microsoft is a 9% Market share. Well duh. If you combine Windows Mobile and WP7 together that's what you'll get.

I'll offer the news that you don't get to see here. :D

What's stupid is you calling others stupid for not using what you use for whatever reasons they have. All this does is show how retarded this is.

No, the mere fact you use it does not make you one, but everything you've said in this thread alone does.

And in all likelihood, people like you probably brought down FireFox's average in this study.

Stay classy.

Sorry I'm at work and don't have time to deal with you IE dummies. I just typed and didn't do a check. Sue me fan boy.

LMFAO! The fact that you would even need to perform some sort of grammar check before posting something instead of just typing it correctly speaks volumes, dude. I'm really hoping English is your second language, though you do appear to be from NY...

    • Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
